ER27 in my XT6.

Well, on my way into work today my six left me stranded on I-5, With a Blown T-belt, one of my drivers came and picked me up, and my friend and I went to work on it when I got off work... Shes running again but What is with my bad luck?

Well, I'm just replacing the front and rear seals. The headgaskets are warrantied for 30 days if I just install it, if I flow test and check the Radiator, its warrantied for one year.

I called 4 different JDM places, all over the country, and 2 here. And Foreign engines in Lynnwood had this one. $575 with a one year warranty.

I think this was there last one..

It is Pretty... Blue Waterpump and all...

May have found a JDM Engine. EDIT:: Purchased JDM Engine, Very Nice looking Only missing Alternator, But has PS Pump, and AC Compressor. So I would have those options I could add in the future. I'm out $600 but its warrantied for a year so I'm happy. I'm gonna swap my intake onto it... and get it installed here pretty soon. If someone Wants the PS Pump or the AC compressor and bracket LET ME know.

Checked it out, And redid the head gaskets today and got instant Milkshake. We checked the heads. didn't mill them.... but checked them according to the spec. Torqued it 5 over all the way around. I'm assuming its a cracked head. (passenger side.) So I'm looking for a Long Block. or a EJ22 SWAP I'm gonna focus on my Legacy Sedan now...

And its a fresh rebuild from a board member. I'm sitting at my favorite restuarant beth's cafe recouping debating if I can fix it today

Well milkshake and backpressure. Seems to run ok except for the white smoke billowing out from every were.

Well, My Brat just turned into a lawn ornament for the Foreseeable Future... Blown Head Gasket. got to love Subaru's!

Had the Rear end of A Fiero fall on me once. Thank god the engine was out.

What about the Axles?

Can I put xt6 Suspension under my brat to get the 5 lug? Stupid question I'm sure... but Just wondering out of curiosity.. zach

Definitely have a base skill set but I know very little about Carbs, I think I might have it figured out though, at least the choke part, my Ported switch on the intake, only has one hose coming off of it, and the other one is plugged. The one that is plugged looks like it is supposed to go to the choke, at least according to the FSM. GD, I might take you up on this offer....

I have dealt with them before, I like em but They want a lot of money for stuff. I usually deal with Rob and Steve at Superior subaru in Burien

Whats the difference between the two? and what would you charge me to get that one good to go and installed?

you know a place that sells cheap webers? I also have a couple of spare carbs, it pieces, I'm sure I can figure something out..

GD, Can I just drive it down to you and let you fix it?

I'm begining to wonder if my choke is even working because its Idle when cold is only about 1000 to 900?

Ok, so I seem to have my Carb pretty much dialed in on my Brat, I only have two problems now. 1. Some times she takes her time coming back down to an Idle 700 or 800 rpm, and will sit at about 1000. Other times she is just fine. 2. After running around town or what have you, if I shut it off and say let her sit for 15 or 20 minutes, then she will fire up and idle great but the minute you go to put a load on her she starts to sputter, shake and vibrate... and will do so for about 2 or three miles... I'm not really knowledgeable about carbs but I'm trying.. Any Ideas to check? its an 83, And I can't find any vacuum leaks. tomorrow I'm going to Liberally spray the hell out of it with carb cleaner inside and out.

Ok, I'm hoping for a smooth ride tomorrow, I'm installing my engine back into my legacy Sport, and I'm trying to figure out how to re-use the Clutch as it looks new. its the Hydraulic clutch system And I'm not sure how the Throw out bearing comes off. as it is attached to the Pressure plate, or can I get away with throwing it in there and then pushing the Arm into place? Zach

Ok, So some times More often then not, I have a rough idle, and some Severe hesitation. I had a similar problem in my old EA81, so I checked the Distributor, and I have some up and down slop, and some small amount of side to side. would this be the possible cause of this problem? The carb is recently rebuilt, so I'm kinda at a loss? Zach

Its a flapper that is some how connected to the heater control valve.. and so I need to put the valve back in..
